Rainbow influences everyone in a beautiful way. It calms the crying soul, it remedies the blemished aura, it nurses the wounded heart and it balms the bruises of any falls. It's those seven colours we seek after the rain, be it in our heart or outside our window pane.
I am gathering all the seven colours here after the rain, with you looking in my window pane. wiz

I love lemons and I don't really mind if life throws me a lot of them continuously . They are expensive here and having them in my kitchen makes me feel rich and regal somehow.

The yellow fruit was going at 40sen each at Carrefour the other day and I bought a plasticful! There is a story behind my love for lemons, yes there's always a story with me.;o). When I was expecting my second child, I needed to have the scent of a lemon close to my nose. If I could not get hold of the real fruit, I would settle for the scented lemon soap. I would have it in my handbag and constantly in my hand when I was in the delivery room. It allowed me to focus and calmed me down nicely. So from then on I was hooked.

I made this pie twice already this week in anticipation of Zue's visit actually. But she could not make it since I don't drive that far out to her sis' place. Sorry Zue, maybe next time k.

So here's the recipe.

Lemon Meringue Pie

The crust (A recipe inspired by my kemalasan maksima)

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon castor sugar
1/2 teaspoon saltof rock salt
2 tablespoons of cold milkmixed with 1/2 cup of canola oli.You
need to whisk together the dry ingredients in a small bowl. In another
bowl, mix the oil and milk and beat till frothy. Then add the wet
ingredients slowly to the dry ingredients and knead until a ball of
dough is formed. It should be soft. Press the dough onto your pie mould.
This would spread perfectly onto an 8 inch pie mould. And pop it into
your oven 180 degree Celsius until the crust turn light yellowish.

Mix all the dry ingredients together then add the the yolks and the zest
and mix well. When the pie crust is ready turn the oven to 150 degrees
Celsius and pour the custard onto it and bake till it does not jiggle
in the centre. When the custard is baking in the oven, prepare the
meringue.

The Meringue

2 of the remaining egg whites

3 Tablespoon castor sugar,

1/2 tablespoon cornflour,

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Beat the egg whites till frothy and put in the castor sugar and the rest
of the ingredients and continue beating till the meringue forms a
stiff peak. When the custard is ready just spoon the meringue onto it in
any way you like, piped or spooned, and bake with the top heat at 150
Celsius till the meringue is golden brown.

Awww....how sweet, do you still have that pie? cos we are still here!and guess what we have both cars but you know, me, being me, so scared to drive in KL, actually there's nothing wrong with the car, we just, mysteriously, lost the key!so, i couldn't go anywhere until my husband came back in the evening.camana ek? nak jugak jumpa you ni.....

Aida- Nak ikat saya? you cannot catchsh me you cannot catchsh me hehehe. Yes it is the same pie crust and I am so proud that the ciptaan kemalasan tu makes a perfect pie crust everytime minus the calories kan Aida and it uses so little and takes the least of time. I have been doing pie everyday cuma inti jer lain.

I think I tweaked too much from your recipe la Yanie so I dont think it is as nice as yours kut hehe. My pie dish was small so the first time I did the custard I found that it is too mch for my pie dish and I malas nak buat crust dia lagi. So the 2nd time I buat I kurangkan the eggs and the lemon juice and anyway kalau buat meringue lemon pie ni memang guna egg yolks jer with the white used as meringue so pandai2 sniri ler mem begakan resepi. Thanks for the resepi by the way.
